The Street Appropriations.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
The statement in The STAR OF this evening that
''COntroller Durham'S decision in this matter,
throws out about $99, 900 from the amount appro-
priated for the improvements Of streets and ave-
nueS" must be erroneous. Under said decision,
three quarters OF this city may get the beneft Of
every cent estimated for them by the Commits
sioners. and the other quarter may get the bene-
only loss to accrue under said decision is the pre-
else OF $14 162. co. which Congress intended to
appropriate for the benefit OF said three quarters
In excess OF the Commissioners estimates. Except
ing this excess, every cent appropriated Is avail
able for the purpose for which IL was intended by
Congress. The loss, therefore, comes from the
failure OF the Commissioners properly to estimate
rell once said: "They do not put it in their
estimates and hence we must take the response
bility OF directing them" But this effort OF Con-
gresS seems to have failed through the awkward
manner OF founding a law on reference to Con-
gressional document, making the law itself only

THE VARIOUS LODGES
Among the colored Odd Fellows there is consid-
cradle talk in regard to erecting hall for the
meeting OF the various lodges. AT present they
occupy rented quarters, and a great many OF the
members are OF the opinion that the order is now
sumciently strong to own their own meeting place.
few years ago they had a hall on 18th street.
Wnch they were paying for gradually, but owing
10 bad management the payments were allowed 10
lapse and the hall was sold. The organization
now numbers some twenty three lodges, represent
ing membership OF fifteen or sixteen hundred.
Ihere Is a grand lodge with the subordinate
iodges and the order is considered to be In
nOur1sh1ng condition. Some or the members who
are actively in favor of this movement for new
nall are confident that by united action a part OF
the funds can be secured, and the rent now paid
oy each OF the lodges yearly will make annual
payments that will soon wipe out the debt as
assumed.

ing from the effects OF wounds inflicted by himself
with suicidal intent For six months Simsky had
been living with his nephew, Hermann Mickey.
The old man had not been working for many
months, being a confirmed invalid from water on
the heart. On Saturday the physician attending
him informed Mrs. Mickey, I'm a voice which he Ia
tended 10 be low one, that there was ''no Use In
coming any more" and that there was no help for
the old man. When Mrs. Mickey re-entered the
room, after leaving the doctor, she found the sick
man trembling all over as with chill. He had
heard the doctors sentence. shortly afterwards
he came down stairs, and Passing through the
kitchen, opened the cellar door. As he turned 10
descend the stairs he waved his hand with good
bye motion TO Mrs. Edgar, an inmate OF the house.
Mrs. Edgar directed Mrs Mickey, who had followed,

HE r. GOING TO HAVE yHR SUNDAY LAWS ENFORCED
OR KNOW THE REASON WHY.
The n. Y. Sun to-day says: Mayor Hewitt does
not like TO be misquoted. One or the speakers &C
the Manhattan temperance meeting on sunday
represented him as saying, I'm his letter TO As
semblyman Giegerfch, that the police commits
sioners had told him that they could not enforce
the sunday excise laws. The mayor said yester-
day:
These pious gentlemen ought 70 be more careful
and not make an accusation not founded on fact.
The truth Is that did not say had been so In
formed by the police commissioners. I did state
that Was so informed at the police department.
i did not state who was my informant. j have
ceiyed a letter from the police commissioners. An
which they say that they can enforce the law,
and I propose TO do all that I can TO help
them do it. II the law Is not enforced II win be
their fault.
In a letter to the police board yesterday the
mayor wrote:
department Is not likely To be Increased unless
the offenders against the law made TO feel the
offense by other than mere arrest As you are
aware, arrangements have been made by which
the trial OF offenders will henceforth be promptly
conducted; but II such trials cannot be had tt
